1 And now thus he says Yahweh [who] created you O Jacob and [who] formed you O Israel may not you be afraid for I have redeemed you I have called [you] by name your [belong] to me you.

But now the LORD who created you, Jacob, and he who formed you, Israel, says: “Don’t be afraid, for I have redeemed you. I have called you by your name. You are mine.

2 If you will pass in the waters [will be] with you I and in the rivers not they will overflow you if you will walk in fire not you will be burned and flame not it will burn you.

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you, and through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned, and flame will not scorch you.

3 For I [am] Yahweh God your [the] holy [one] of Israel deliverer your I have given ransom your Egypt Cush and Seba in place of you.

For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I have given Egypt as your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in your place.

4 Because you are precious in view my you are honored and I I love you and I may give humankind in place of you and peoples in place of life your.

Since you have been precious and honored in my sight, and I have loved you, therefore I will give people in your place, and nations instead of your life.

5 May not you be afraid for [am] with you I from [the] east I will bring offspring your and from [the] west I will gather you.

Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. I will bring your offspring from the east, and gather you from the west.

6 I will say to the north deliver up and to [the] south may not you withhold bring sons my from a distance and daughters my from [the] end of the earth.

I will tell the north, ‘Give them up!’ and tell the south, ‘Don’t hold them back! Bring my sons from far away, and my daughters from the ends of the earth—

7 Every [one who] is called by name my and [whom] for glory my I created him [whom] I formed him also I made him.

everyone who is called by my name, and whom I have created for my glory, whom I have formed, yes, whom I have made.’”

8 Bring out a people blind and [are] eyes there and deaf [people] and ears [belong] to them.

Bring out the blind people who have eyes, and the deaf who have ears.

9 All the nations they have assembled together so they may gather peoples who? among them will he declare this and former [things] will they proclaim to? us let them appoint witnesses their so they may be justified and they may hear and they may say truth.

Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the peoples be assembled. Who among them can declare this, and show us former things? Let them bring their witnesses, that they may be justified, or let them hear, and say, “That is true.”

10 You [are] witnesses my [the] utterance of Yahweh and servant my whom I have chosen so that you may know and you may believe me and you may perceive that I [am] he before me not it was formed a god and after me not it will be.

“You are my witnesses,” says the LORD, “With my servant whom I have chosen; that you may know and believe me, and understand that I am he. Before me there was no God formed, neither will there be after me.

11 I I [am] Yahweh and there not except me [is] a deliverer.

I myself am the LORD. Besides me, there is no savior.

12 I I have declared and I have saved and I have proclaimed and there not among you [was] a strange [god] and you [are] witnesses my [the] utterance of Yahweh and I [am] God.

I have declared, I have saved, and I have shown, and there was no strange god among you. Therefore you are my witnesses”, says the LORD, “and I am God.

13 Also from a day I [am] he and there not from hand my [is] a deliverer I act and who? will he revoke it.

Yes, since the day was, I am he. There is no one who can deliver out of my hand. I will work, and who can hinder it?”

14 Thus he says Yahweh redeemer your [the] holy [one] of Israel for sake your I have sent Babylon towards and I will bring down [as] fugitives all of them and [the] Chaldeans in ships shout of joy their.

The LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel says: “For your sake, I have sent to Babylon, and I will bring all of them down as fugitives, even the Chaldeans, in the ships of their rejoicing.

15 I [am] Yahweh holy [one] your [the] creator of Israel king your.

I am the LORD, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.”

16 Thus he says Yahweh who made in the sea a way and in waters mighty a path.

The LORD, who makes a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters,

17 Who sent out chariotry and horse[s] an army and a strong [one] together they lay down not they rose they were extinguished like wick they were quenched.

who brings out the chariot and horse, the army and the mighty man (they lie down together, they shall not rise; they are extinct, they are quenched like a wick) says:

18 May not you remember former [things] and ancient [things] may not you consider.

“Don’t remember the former things, and don’t consider the things of old.

19 Here I [am] about to do a new [thing] now it is springing up ¿ not do you know it also I will make in the wilderness a way in a desolate place rivers.

Behold, I will do a new thing. It springs out now. Don’t you know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

20 It honors me [the] animal[s] of the field jackals and daughters of an ostrich for I have put in the wilderness water rivers in a desolate place to give drink to people my chosen one my.

The animals of the field, the jackals and the ostriches, shall honor me, because I give water in the wilderness and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen,

21 A people which I formed for myself praise my they will recount.

the people which I formed for myself, that they might declare my praise.

22 And not me you have called on O Jacob for you have grown weary with me O Israel.

Yet you have not called on me, Jacob; but you have been weary of me, Israel.

23 Not you have brought to me [the] sheep of burnt offerings your and sacrifices your not you have honored me not I have burdened you with offering[s] and not I have made weary you with frankincense.

You have not brought me any of your sheep for burnt offerings, neither have you honored me with your sacrifices. I have not burdened you with offerings, nor wearied you with frankincense.

24 Not you have bought for me for money calamus and [the] fat of sacrifices your not you have satisfied me nevertheless you have burdened me with sins your you have made weary me with iniquities your.

You have bought me no sweet cane with money, nor have you filled me with the fat of your sacrifices, but you have burdened me with your sins. You have wearied me with your iniquities.

25 I I [am] he [who is] wiping out transgressions your for own sake my and sins your not I will remember.

I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake; and I will not remember your sins.

26 Cause to remember me let us enter into judgment together recount O you so that you may be justified.

Put me in remembrance. Let us plead together. Declare your case, that you may be justified.

27 Ancestor your first he sinned and spokesmen your they transgressed against me.

Your first father sinned, and your teachers have transgressed against me.

28 So I may profane [the] officials of holiness and I will give to total destruction Jacob and Israel to reviling words.

Therefore I will profane the princes of the sanctuary; and I will make Jacob a curse, and Israel an insult.”
